Standard Zoom meetings support up to 300 simultaneous participants. UITS recommends creating at least one recurring Zoom meeting, especially if you want to use Zoom as an external tool in your Canvas course. For more about Zoom security, see Prevent Zoombombing using Zoom privacy and security features.įor help editing your Personal Meeting ID, see What Is My Personal Meeting ID (PMI) And Personal Link? Create a recurring meeting Note that if Zoombombing is a concern, it may be more secure to use an automatically generated meeting ID rather than a customized one. For example, some videoconferencing equipment requires that meeting attendees enter a string of numbers rather than letters, and Zoom's Canvas integration will not work with a Personal Link. You can also use a Personal Link (that is, a URL incorporating a meaningful word or phrase, sometimes called a vanity URL), but some functionality may be unavailable. If you wish, you can edit this to a number you'll find easy to remember, such as your phone number.

When you create a Zoom account, you're automatically assigned a Personal Meeting ID.

You can access these features in the future by going to and clicking Log in. From the menu on the left, you can schedule meetings, view your meeting recordings, and update your Zoom profile. You will be taken to your Zoom profile page.


Students, faculty, and staff may create Zoom accounts. If you already have a personal Zoom account with your IU address, you will need to terminate it before you can create an IU Zoom account.If you plan to manage departmental meetings in Zoom, see Manage departmental meetings in Zoom.
